What if the next Mass Effect is entirely in first person?

There have been rumors for a while of EA wanting to make a first person Mass Effect. I'm sure it'll still have RPG elements like talking to people and you would see the characters in cutscenes but otherwise it would all be first person in gameplay.

Since Mass Effect is already more shooter than RPG, and EA is chasing the dudebro's with Titanfall and Battlefield, it wouldn't surprise me.

Do dudebro's even play Mass Effect? I'm pretty sure Mass Efect only sold to hardcore gamers, I can't remember if dudebro's ever got into the series like they do with Call of Duty/Battlefield/Madden.

What if it isn't called Batman Arkham? But instead is called "Superman Arkham Adventures: Starring Supes, Green Arrow, and the one and only, BOOSTER GOLD!!!! With is friendly companion, SKEETS!!! Oh, and don't forget Batman has a cameo in this game. Ultra Edition version 2016"?!?!?

i would be so happy if the next Mass Effect game had turn based strategy combat... thats my dream game -_-

That would be the ideal thing to make me consider waiting and buying it second hand. I don't mind switching from thrid-person to first-person, because it isn't a massive change, but making it turn-based? You may as well take away all the tension and pace from the combat sections of the game.

i dont think theyd do it, its just a pipe dream of mine... imo TBS games ive played this gen and overall get much more intense than 3rd person shooters which tend to be really easy even on the hardest settings.

i also dont think combat is one of the areas ME has been exceptional in, even tho theyve always been competent at worst.

The combat isn't groundbreaking, but it's good. I'm just really hard to please when it comes to turn-based games.

yeah i dont think turn based games are good just because they are, but i think a good TBS game with a Mass Effect quality story and setting would be the shiiiiiiiiit... plus youd get to fight with all your dudes instead of only rolling 3 deep 99.9% of the time no matter the situation

All? If they go with an ME2 sized cast (which I hope they do, it by far had the best character development), I don't imagine you taking all of them.
I would really like them to introduce co-op. Maybe on larger and more open missions you could have each friend take over one crew member, but that's the only way I see you having them all out on the field. And even then you'd probably split into groups and go along different paths.

should be much easier to design battles that are entertaining with more than 5-6 people at once than it is with the current combat system
